A Lindsay Lohan sitcom?

‘Your next move, it seems to me, should be toward television,” said George Sanders with droll indifference to Marilyn Monroe’s aspiring, if untalented, stage ingenue in “All About Eve.”

Well, those words might be ringing in the ears of Lindsay Lohan, who has apparently burned every bridge and scorched every highway in Hollywood.

The troubled starlet got off easy again, avoiding jail time in exchange for her promise to go into rehab for 90 days.

Now one of the creators of “Sex and the City,” Michael Patrick King, is said to have reached out to Lohan to appear in his new CBS show “Two Broke Girls,” in a guest-starring role. She would play some variation on her wild girl image, trading vicious barbs with the two stars of the series, Beth Behrs and Kat Dennings.

If the thing comes about — that is, if she says yes and shows up and knows her lines — King is even mulling creating a show around Lindsay, with her again playing off her real-life image, much like her friend Charlie Sheen did in “Two and a Half Men.”

All this is in the talking stages. No word if Lindsay has even gotten back to King, since she has other things on her mind right now. I think it would be an amusing idea, if she was really acting, rather than acting out.

Two of the saddest sights I’ve seen recently in show biz land were the shots of a bleary-eyed, blowsy, out-of-it Lindsay in court last week. She looked like she didn’t know where she was or why she was there. And that very evening she attempted to enter a nightclub, but the paparazzi crush around the car was so great she hid under a blanket and her “friends” sped away with her.

Now, I can’t read Lindsay’s mind, so I have no idea if she was going to that nightclub to drink, but the very idea that she’d go anywhere near a nightclub at this point shows where her head is.

And drinking or not, Lindsay is a target for everybody with a cellphone camera and a wish to be momentarily famous by catching her misbehaving or goading her into it.

But I’ve felt for a long time that Lindsay has a masochistic need to punish herself (and probably her parents) on this runaway train to destruction.

Maybe rehab and a steady job on TV are just what the doctor ordered. She could regain her beauty and her talent and her popularity with just a little luck and a lot of determination. Despite all the haters on the blogosphere, Americans love to forgive the stars they’ve built up and then torn down.
